Fort Brave

I normally would not play any game that plays with 50 lines or more, preferring to stick to the good old standard 9 to 25 lines games, but occasionally on 243 lines games as well. This game by Gamomat, Fort Brave, has 50 paylines, but luckily enough for me, the minimum starting bet is only 20 cents per spin, so it’s still within my small budget to play. If it starts at 50 cents per spin, I definitely would not play it! I don’t want to lose all my starting balance in a quick manner, and I always play games that can give me a reasonably good playing time.

Usually, a 5 reels 4 rows game would have more than 500 paylines, up to 1096 or more paylines at times, thereby providing sufficient chances of getting wins with each spin, even though the win might be a very small and insignificant one. A losing spin disguised as a small win is always better than a dead non-paying spin, so the more paylines the game has, the better the gameplay would be. In Fort Brave case, 50 lines is rather restrictive in providing sufficient winning chances, the way I see it, so a player can expect to get many more non-paying spins than the usual.

Where paytable is concerned, the win values of Fort Brave symbols are quite acceptable, although not that good, but most games do not have good paytables nowadays anyway. The Flags, the Wild symbol, is non-paying, sadly enough, but it carries a win multiplier of x2 or x3 during the free spins play, to slightly boost up any wins. The Tower, the Scatter symbol, pays only 20x for a 5-of-a-kind win, which is very low indeed, but the Soldier, the top symbol, pays a decent 100x. Other symbols pay from 20x downwards, which are also on the low side.

10, 15 or 20 free spins are awarded for landing 3, 4 or 5 Tower scatters anywhere on the reels, and more free spins can be retriggered. How many more extra free spins? Not stated, but usually it won’t be many, possibly up to 5 retriggers I would think. Nonetheless, getting one retrigger is, and was, hard enough for me! The Flags Wild symbol doesn’t appear too often, unfortunately, so most payouts from the free spins would not be that good, hardly ever giving any 100x or higher wins, as I’ve found out so far. My best win is only 78x, achieved from my most recent play on Fort Brave, so the game doesn’t really catch my keenness to keep on playing, or even to play it on a regular basis.

Fort brave is another slot based on the American civil war which is the game theme. This slot has 40 paylines and there is a lot of benefits. You can trigger the free spins feature where you can benefit from multiplier wilds up to x27 your win, and the nice thing is the paytable is awesome.

On the reels, you will find your royal symbols, together with Drums, Cap, Cannon, and the Soldier himself. This soldier is the most rewarding and will give you x100 your total bet if you manage to land 5 of a kind. The soldier symbol comes in stack form, and even connecting 2 on a payline will give a payout. The American flag act as the wild symbol and landing 3 of them during free spins will award an x27 multiplier to your total win.

The gameplay is nice and you win often, to be honest. Scatters are insanely visible and you will often get 2 scatters on the reels all the time. It's landing that 3rd scatter that is the problem to trigger the free spins. When the game is in the mood, you will trigger free spins quickly, but payouts are very poor.

Landing 3 scatters will award 10 free spins. During free spins, you will find more soldier stacked symbols and extra wild symbols are added to the reels for bigger multipliers. The nice thing is, even if wild is not connecting in a combination, the multiplier still applies to your win if it’s a normal 3 or 4 of a kind symbol win. I am afraid to imagine if you manage to get 5 soldiers with wild multipliers, I guess you will break the bank.

I had a couple of x300 wins on this slot, but never significant 1000x hits. I had near misses a lot, but it's part of the rush, you know how these games are. Overall this is a great slot if want to built your balance slowly.
